A carrion carnivore is an animal that feeds on the carcasses of dead animals. The most well-known example of this type of animal is the HYENA, which has five letters in its name. Hyenas are scavengers, meaning they feed on the remains of other animals, and are found in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. They are known for their distinctive laughing sound and their powerful jaws, which allow them to break through bones and consume the flesh of their prey.
